so … no biggie ?
but now she was having a staring contest with a dead guy with bullet-brain— upside down , of course— and a voice was coming from behind her . she didn’t ask if they did it ; the smell of death permeated , but she DID turn her head and boldly state the following ;
“ does this face look like it needs help ? “

❝ Do you mind telling me how it is you got here? ❞
